Remove refusal behavior from a 30.7B multimodal model without losing a deployable format set.

Release notes for Gemma 4 31B uncensored · format family: the problem, the decision, the artifacts on Hugging Face, and what the evaluation showed. Figures come from the committed snapshot of 2026-09-01.

Problem

Remove refusal behavior from a 30.7B multimodal model without losing a deployable format set.

Decision

Applied weight-level abliteration, then carried the same model lineage through BF16, ModelOpt NVFP4, and a GGUF K-quant ladder. For multimodal NVFP4 serving, the vision tower, embedder, and lm_head stayed in BF16.

Result

BF16 evaluation: 0/686 effective refusals across four datasets. The 20 GB NVFP4 build, reduced from 59 GB, was validated in vLLM and SGLang. GGUF: 12–31 GB with 0–1/100 hard refusals across quant levels.

Serving check

A minimal single-node vLLM start for the serving build; adjust context length and parallelism to the hardware.
